If you’ve been there a year or more - nothing is repaid.

If you’ve been there less than a year - they’ll probably make you repay the expenses associated with relocating and the likes. They just take the money out of your end of service (final settlement payment), they won’t come after you for cash after you’re gone.

I would assume they just take it out of your salary.

Last salary? That’s what would make sense

Any such clause is likely against saudi labor law. Contract clauses - even if contracts are signed by both parties - must comply with Saudi labor laws to be enforceable. Otherwise the given clause is null. Use AI to find which KSA labor law article covers this. I had an issue where after being laid off, the shitty cie I worked for wanted me to repay the relocation bonus. Never did, was against saudi labor law (forgot the article # though).

I've yet to hear of someone who was asked to pay the x months left on their contract to their employer when they've resigned. The law is very contentious anyways and is not clear cut, and if an employer decides to enforce it, they better be ready for the back and forth with Qiwa and potentially wasting time and money in courts if they're so adamant

Just been offered a manager position (people & org consulting) at a big 4 in Qatar for 24k (QAR). Based on previous threads this seems low for the region. Especially as 9k goes towards accommodation (max unfurnished 1br) ....Have I been low balled? Or is this normal?

Moving to Dubai to start with Kearney in November.

Considering buying an apartment instead of renting as my parents are in the Middle east and gives greater control over living costs (landlords seem difficult?).

Anyone here owning an apartment in Marina? As Australians we are keen to have shops, cafes, gyms in walkable distance…any other areas apart from Marina that can offer this?

Appreciate any guidance or insights.
